Another S90 Case Option

I've found the Case Logic MEQB-1M to be a perfect fit for my S90. For me an important feature was a permanent belt loop, rather than a temporary clip/snap/velcro strap arrangement. I commute on public transit, and have had several close calls nearly losing mobile phones and other gadgets thanks to loose straps. It's well worth taking a couple of extra seconds to put it on the belt for the peace of mind knowing it won't fall off. This one also came with a small carabiner, though I don't use it. There's a small mesh pocket inside, big enough to hold a spare battery and memory card, but not much else. I don't anticipate problems fitting in the Franiec grip that's on its way. It doesn't seem to be on the Case Logic website (perhaps recently discontinued?), but mine was $10 Canadian at the local Sears department store, and here it is on the WalMart website, also available in other colours:

Just bought the Lowepro Hipshot 20 in Staples today...great streamlined pouch. I have another bag I use for S90 with some extra space for SD cards and battery, but for just the S90 by itself, this Hipshot bag is the sleekest I have found.

I saw this case while at Staples and it does fit the S90 just right. It probably is the sleekest case that also has a pocket for a memory card and battery. The Hipshot case on the other hand is just for the Camera, no cards, no batteries - not as wide or thick as the Case Logic case. I would get the Case Logic case if I needed the extra storage and the Hipshot if I just wanted to protect the camera while in my jacket pocket, etc. By the way, with either case I would be very careful of the carabiner clip - it would certainly scratch the camera lcd screen if it rubbed against the little hinge rivets. I took my clip off. I would say that using a metal clip is actually a poor design feature. Regards....

OK, I throw my choice in for the S90 case. Fits it really nice snug so it doesn't add lot of bulk to the camera and has zippered front pocket big enough for just a spare battery and memory card.

Others have commented on the terraclime 30 for the S90. I could not get the 30 in Bankgok, but found a complete range of all the colours of the 10. It is a good snug fit, works well and is eco friendly
No Velcro to snag the wrist strap, no zipper to scratch the LCD

Sorry, can't take a pic of the camera in the case right now as do not have a spare to take photos with
Good luck

Let you carry a spare battery and memory? I would have no use for it if it doesn't. If you use the S90 for very long, you are going to need another battery. Yes the little Lowepro cases do add more bulk, but I think they are a bit more versatile also.

No. It doesn't have a slot for extra battery or memory card. I haven't used it for a long trip or don't take more than perhaps 50-100 shots per day. I imagine I would carry it with my hi-def Sony camcorder bag if that's the case.

Also, this case is stylish and fits perfectly in my jacket pocket with no bulk. Isn't that the whole purpose of the s90 after all?

Just an update...I have a lot of problems getting the camera in this case. Out is no problem, but in is always tricky. It has a cloth lip with a pull string that makes the fit a bit tight and hard to get the cam back into the case. I may return it for the Case Logic case. I really like the HipShot fit, but always struggling to get the camera in the case is getting old.

Another update for those of you that may have the Hipshot 20. I decided to cut off the nylon flap and pull string from the opening of this case and now I have no problem getting the camera in and out. It didn't matter to me to have the case completely sealed, and now it works as protection for when the camera in in my pocket. It is so much easier to work with without that flap.
